Outrecuidant
Histoires de Parfums (2017)

Spicy and someone ozonic/marine notes for me in the opening. Strange juxtaposition. Rose is hushed by oud, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Agree with speedracer in regards to the dryer sheet notes of the 'free and clear' variety. Mellows and rounds out nicely and has punchy longevity power. This is not one I would wear myself, but I would love to catch a hint of on another.

Smelling this up-close is just another unisex dirty oud-rose combo. But unlike those others you've already smelled, when you catch this in the air, it's fresh and sweet, somehow. The fresh almost reminds me of a dryer sheet. A very interesting scent as I've never had an experience like this where it smells that different away from the skin, to my nose.

Projection is good, it's strong enough to smell through your clothes with only spraying on skin and you won't need that many sprays. Also lasts all day, great performance.

Outrecuidant which translated roughly means to think beyond. The fragrance is somewhat of a contradictio and difficult to describe the rich blended character of this fragrance. The ginger and cardamom opening resembles a boozy opening while patchouli, tobacco and oud creates a warm tobacco leafy base. I really enjoy all of these notes, but could not appreciate the depth and darkness in Outrecuidant until colder weather arrived and the contrasts became sharper and well defined whereas in summer it seemed without purpose. I have reevaluated this scent to a rating of 8 of 10 stars and thumbs up - especially good in cold weather.
